MM is really weird. My last 10 games have been vs a mix of supreme-dmg (all in one match). I've lost like 6 or 7 of them, won two and draw one and i managed to uprank. Honestly, wtf vovlvo?

At this point I feel no incentive to play. My last 20 or so games on MM were complete steamrolls one way or the other.

You shouldn't really be paying to attention to ranks in general in terms of what you're matched up against and what you get currently as the underlying MMR is the deciding factor to begin with, when the change and shift kind of screws with everything. Things should stabilize with time anyway.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/3xe7py/has_anybody_noticed_the_change_in_the_rank_system/cy3x3pj

ranks were fixed, that's all there is to say about it. people that never deserved to be a higher rank, are now finally being lowered after being inflated.

also, like many said, ranks don't mean anything, your mmr is what is used to match you with "similar" skilled people, and can get messed up by people queuing with friends with different ranks/mmrs.

I don't know if it's placebo or not. It probably is, but I've felt the same. However my past two games were quite enjoyable, I was actually in a team where no one was toxic!

Meh, matchmaking was always part you, part which team had more smurfing/hacking/toxic players anyway.

It certainly is disappointing to see all public evidence of your hard work disappearing before your eyes though. I can see it being a reason for people griefing smurfing whatever because they don't care about their ranks anymore. I don't agree with it, but I can see it. And it makes me sad when they're on my team.

Now there's good reason to listen to people when they say ignore peoples' ranks. Now, in addition to whatever it represented before, it's also a measure of activity (if you haven't been deranked yet because you haven't played much since the rank shift started, your apparent rank is likely inflated).

There's one thing you can't doubt about Smix, it's her passion for esports.

Should be great regardless!

Indeed, happy to see her here

No RL tho, but the desk should be solid if they can keep Duncan in check ^^

Regarding the groups, looks like we have a good ol' Group of Death with Fnatic, nV and ex-TSM

Guys I am officially the cancer. I have 4 friends that started playing again, they were hovering around silver elite and gn 1-2. I am Global myself though, we played a few games and they got absolutely demolished by smfcs. So, a friend gave me his second csgo account which was already level 3. I've been carrying them for about 14-15 wins straight now. I feel kinda bad for the opponents, but at the same time I'm having so much fun. Sorry guys, I am the cancer now.

Its going to take a while before the ranks settle out. Each game I am getting steamrolled or steamrolling the other team.

Games feel a lot more volatile than they used to. I've noticed that teams seem to tilt harder and faster after a string of losses. There's a lot more smurfs and griefers around as well, which may well contribute to match lopsidedness; Valve should never have begun rank adjustment at the same time as the Steam Holiday Sale.

Ok guys, I gave a break to CSGO for 3-4 months or so. I was double AK or similar rank but it seems I got kicked out of bracket system during the break. After initial matches I assigned to SEM and quickly raised to GN2 and still winning more rounds than I lose while even playing mostly deagle+armor.
I know I am very rusty in terms of aim and mechanics but did they changed the ranking system or some sort? I read something on twitter but I appreciate if someone shed some light.
Thanks
